Peter will report directly to Tom Mockridge, chief executive officer of Virgin Media, and will be part of the group executive committee, demonstrating the importance of the business division to the success of the wider Virgin Media group.

Peter brings with him an outstanding track record in B2B telecoms having spent the last five years at Vodafone, leading the transformation of their Enterprise division.

Tom Mockridge, chief executive officer of Virgin Media said, “Peter’s a very welcome addition to our executive team as Virgin Media Business has an important part to play in the growth of Virgin Media. Despite the economic challenges currently facing our public sector and private enterprise customers, the business-to-business market offers big long term opportunities for us. Peter is the right person to have on board to accelerate Virgin Media Business’s growth and challenge the incumbents in this market.”

The company has already made huge strides forward in establishing itself as the main challenger to BT in business telecoms. I’m looking forward to taking the business on the next part of its journey, with growth and innovation at the forefront of my focus.”

Tony Grace, interim managing director at Virgin Media Business, will continue in his role until Peter joins in September, at which time Tony will return to his previous position as chief operating officer of the business division.
